SPIN INDOOR MAPPING

The Sanborn Platform for Indoor Mapping (SPIN) is a semi-autonomous mobile robotic platform designed exclusively for indoor mapping applications. By utilizing the recent advances made in a variety of 3D technologies including laser scanning, photogrammetry and computer vision, and the state-of-the-art approaches used in robotics, SPIN is a leap forward in accurately mapping building interior spaces. SPIN is compact, easy-to-operate and a self-navigating system which generates pre-registered spatial data almost in real-time.

SPIN For Indoor Mapping

Indoor office/residential environments pose unique challenges for laser scanning using traditional static (tripod-based) systems, owing to the problems of occlusion and added survey times. These issues lead to increased costs. SPIN, however, uses state-of-the-art LiDAR-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms for real-time mapping of the environment and keeping track of the pose and position of the system in a local coordinate system. This then can be exported to global coordinates by using triangulation surveying approaches.

The Sanborn Platform for Indoor Mapping survey solution is designed to collect engineering/survey grade LiDAR data in indoor building environments that are time- and resource-consuming with static LiDAR sensor platforms, but require an accuracy and resolution that meets the deliverables available through current scanning technologies.

With a system delivering better than 3cm accuracy and a resolution of up to 1cm, SPIN products offer unprecedented 3D detail from a platform moving at speeds up to 50 cm/s. The SPIN platform leverages Sanborn’s decades of development experience and the latest in LiDAR-based SLAM innovation to collect survey-grade LiDAR data at 43,200 measurements per second with a 270º FOV, while maintaining a Class 1 Eye Safety Rating.

SPIN Technology Benefits:

Safety—Collection at speeds slower than average human walking speeds and real time detection of obstacles (humans and environment features) makes it safe for indoor environments. Human joystick override’s available for emergency situations.

Collection Efficiency—The system navigates in interior and close quarter environments autonomously and is faster by up to 20x than static scanning platforms.
